ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reproducing recorded signals by using a recorded medium and a method for reproducing recorded signals. The learning of language is done by using the general recorded medium such as cassette tape and video tape with movies or music recorded thereon, thereby improving the learning efficiency. In the method for reproducing recorded signals of a recording medium in a language learning apparatus, the operation is carried out in the following manner. A control section switches a first switch in accordance with a reproduction command of a reproduction key inputting section, so that the audio signals of an audio signal processing section would be supplied to a speaker. Further, the control section turns on a second switch in accordance with a voice recognition command of a voice recognition key inputting section, so that the voices of a voice detecting section would be supplied and stored to a voice recognizing section. Further, the control section compares a pre-stored voice of the voice recognizing section with the voices of the voice detecting section, and makes the output signals of the adder supplied to the speaker by switching the first switch. During the time when the recorded signals such as movies or music are reproduced from the cassette tape or video tape, if the user wants, the vocal sounds are suppressed, and his or her own voice can be outputted together with the background sounds. In this manner, an actual conversation can be carried out with an actor of the movie, thereby improving the learning efficiency.
